“Amazing Ideas / Facts!”

The GK drill series is for general hole drilling with aluminium materials.
Special shapes such as multi-steps and multi-grooves can be available with a wide variety.
Stable accuracy in drilling hole is ensured by the double margin and straight flute.
In addition, the three-edged type achieves excellent hole positioning for casted holes.
The line-up includes GK drill for w/o preholes, GKT drill for casted holes and GKZ drill with DLC coating for high welding resistance.

Background / Point for Development

Background

  • Twist drills have been the conventional and mainstream drills for general hole drilling of aluminum.
  • However, twist drills tend to have low tool rigidity, which causes the drill to make unwanted move, resulting in hole bending and chattering.

Point for Development

  • The GK series uses thinning and double margins, best suited for aluminum to eliminate undesired tool behaviours, thereby reducing bending and chattering.
  • The GK series also offers special shapes such as multi-step and double-margin specifications, and a line-up of DLC-coated products with high welding resistance.
